"To the Local DJ Who Had a Gravitational Pull" with Amber Abundance
Q: What did you learn about patience in dating?
Patience is a valuable skill; observe how someone treats others and shows up in different spaces, because a real connection reveals itself over time rather than instantly.

Q: Why was taking two years off from dating important for you?
It was about resetting my standards, unlearning patterns, and building a clearer sense of my identity as a bisexual/lesbian Black woman, so I could date from a place of authenticity rather than reaction.
